I like okra.  I can put it on a paper towel before I eat it.  I also like it stirred around in a no stick with olive oil.

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Rinse the okra, and drain on a kitchen towel. The okra should be dry. Trim away the stem ends and the tips, just the very ends, and then place the okra in a large bowl. Salt to taste, and toss with the olive oil until coated.
2. Lift the okra from the bowl, leaving behind any excess oil. Place on a sheet pan in one layer. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes (large okra might take a little longer), shaking the pan every five minutes. The okra should be lightly browned and tender, with a nice seared aroma. If you don’t want it to brown as much, set the oven at 400 degrees.
3. Remove from the heat, toss with fresh thyme, if desired, and freshly ground pepper. Transfer to a platter. Serve hot can be drizzled with Baslamic vinegar.

Tip

• Advance preparation: You can trim the okra several hours ahead, but this is a last-minute recipe.

@ECBG I love okra usually with tomatoes....never met a veggie I didn't like.  Never thought of roasting, great idea!

Life long southerner here. My parents would boil okra and try to force me to eat it when I was a child.  Let's just say that never ended well.  So no I will never eat okra no way no how. Sorry to all of the okra fans.

I really like Okra but it has to be fried.

@ECBG @We like Orka and your recipe looks like something we would like. In the winter when we can’t find fresh Safeway has whole frozen Okra and it’s pretty good.

This looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it.

Thanks for the post @ECBG .
